Nope. Looks like they are in addition to.

What the heck is every show getting two opening bands??

 

[romi]

huh. maybe it's a joke? I'll check with my source.... But even if it's real, they are already better than the Fray.

 

[Spoutnik]

Heck,i just went on u2.com and they are listed with The Fray

???

What kind of music are they playing?

blues

edit. nevermind. that was just one song I listened too. They are a hippy namd. basically, '60s San Francisco music.

 

[romi]

It's got a few former members of Jefferson Airplane

 

[Spoutnik]

Just checked on youtube, they look like they were at woodstock in 1969.

omg now all of a sudden I'm getting a Moonalice ad on my facebook. WHYYYY

 

[romi]

omg now all of a sudden I'm getting a Moonalice ad on my facebook. WHYYYY

why are you upset?

 

[Sicy]

Um because its just another shitty band I have to sit through.

 

[Spoutnik]

Well, look at it this way.Being the only show of the leg with 2 support acts,it's going to be a special gig.

 

[romi]

Oh, they're not that bad. They're better than the Feay, at least. And you alternative to sittin gthrough them would be to just sit through piped in music and an empty stage.

 

[Sicy]

So does that mean they'd start earlier than one regular support act?

I'm sure of it.

 

[lauramullen]

We have 2 openers now.

 

[romi]

I am doing some research about this band, and may even write a story about them. My preliminary findings are that Bono is doing a favor to his ELEVATION PARTNERS.

 

[lauramullen]

Really. This is going to be a long night before u2 comes on.

 

[Sicy]

And Romi is wondering why I'm crying.

 

[romi]

....... and so, today, I found myself having a conversation with the co-creator of Elevation Partners.......

 

[lauramullen]

and.....................

 

[romi]

and.....................

and....... I'm not sure yet. He may be in the band, or he may be their unofficial PR guy. Haven't asked yet...

 

[lauramullen]

Oh, ok.

 

[bratty_cat]

Great, two opening bands to sit through and one is only there cause he has a crapload of money and Bono owes him a favor. Awesome.

 

[romi]

well, they are better than the Fray at least.... and all the out-of-towners will experience some good 'ole San Fran phsycodelic rock. The band does have members of Jefferson Airplane.

 

[bratty_cat]

Sorry but I still think it's very self-serving to subject your fans to your rich friend's vanity project. Where's Larry when you need him?


Edited to add that not only is Roger McNamee of Elevation Partners in the band but so is his wife. OY!

I'm old but I'm not that old.

LOL, seriously!

Did anyone else see the next show this Moonalice band is playing after the u2 show?

 

[lauramullen]

Lots of special guests.
